Episode 112. Dalian (2)
A dark-skinned soldier looked down at the stage and stroked the mane of a battle horse.
purr.
The electric horse, with skin as black as the soldier’s, laid back its ears and stuck out its teeth.
He even kicked the ground with his hooves.
It is the clearest display of anger that words can give.
At that, the 66th Rank Demon King Cimries laughed heartily.
“guy. too. After seeing player Yoon Taeyang, I am not satisfied.”
This was a common phenonon not only for Cimries, but also for layer pillars on the 1st to 15th floors where the sun passed recently.
It was because after watching Taeyang’s play, he beca unsatisfied with the slightest flash.
cooong.
As Chiries rolled his foot lightly, a huge screen appeared in the air.
It was the result of visualizing the imaginary space in his head.
Mana managent that is difficult even for a few demon lords.
Chiries didn’t change even a single expression.
Anyone who was in charge of a position in the dinsional labyrinth could manage the level of Chiries.
The screen implented by Cimries was the shape of a huge library.
The na of this library where all the information that happened in the demon realm is recorded is ‘omniscience’.
It was managed by the 3rd rank demon king, Bassago of Prophecy.
Cimries found the part of the dinsional labyrinth with skillful hands.
Everything that happened in the dinsional labyrinth was recorded in the book as a mana arrangent and stored in the dinsional labyrinth part.
Chiries searched the parts for a while and took out a book.
The book Chiries took out was considerably stained compared to other books.
Pararak.
At the sa ti as the soiled book revealed my inner flesh, the shape of the library that Chiries realized was drastically distorted.
It was a process of projecting the contents of the book.
purr.
Chiries’ electric horse, which had been planted on the ground, raised its head and looked at the screen.
The sun in the screen was engaged in a decisive battle with PX-4889.
“It is a brilliant talent. No other player I’ve seen recently can compare.”
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The horse nodded as if agreeing with Cimries.
The end of this video was the scene where Taeyang accepted the proposal of the last Balak on the 17th floor and entered the white door.
And from the other side of the door to the glimpse of Dantalian.
Cimries, who had been watching Taeyang for a long ti, smiled.
The video was edited, so I couldn’t know the details, but I guessed roughly.
“Balak’s temperant is still Dantalian. The hair is still alive. An exquisite plate was laid.”
Ballack’s editing was flawless.
If I hadn’t seen it beforehand, I wouldn’t have noticed anything.
Chiries was also able to notice it thanks to his interest in player Yoon Taeyang.
“Dantalian’s ways are always vicious. It’s sothing that even Balak is doing. Is it sponsorship?”
Due to Dantalian’s personality, it was unlikely that he would be a general supporter.
Perfect control or sothing of that level is at stake.
Dantalian was a demon king who knew how to influence in a way that even the contractor himself could not perceive.
This wouldn’t be good for the sun.
Cimries stroked the electric horse’s mane.
“It’s been a long ti since I’ve seen a tower with enough talent to clear it. It’s not worth leaving it like this. Do you think so too?”
purr.
The electric horse trembled.
“Separately, I have sothing to pay back to Yoon Taeyang.”
Almost caused the stage collapse of the Endless Express, but it was the sun’s work.
And on the contrary, he was the fault of Cimries who designed the stage.
At that ti, Cimries forcibly adjusted the situation by using his position as the Demon King.
It was clearly a violation of the sun’s rights.
So may insist that it is a natural right of the strong.
But for so, it is a debt of the heart.
Cimries belonged to the latter.
A black soldier rode on a black electric horse.
“Hey! Go to the 18th floor!”
***
[6-3 Dalian: Dalian with Balak the Demon King]
The system window was cut.
Dantalian explained the stage in a kind tone.
“Dalian lasts 11 minutes. Three tis for 3 minutes per round. There are two breaks of one minute each. If your feet are firmly planted on the ground even after the sparring is over, it is your victory.”
“Oh there. Dantalian? Why are you here…”
“There are three conditions. first. Ballack’s and Player’s physical specifications are the sa. The equipnt also wears the sa equipnt as the player’s. second. Balak can only use as much mana as the sun can handle. It’s intuitive, so no other explanation is needed. and the last third. Balak can only use as many skills as the sun can use.”
“Wait a minute.”
The sun let out a laugh involuntarily.
I was curious about Dantalian’s presence here, but when I heard Dantalian talking, my curiosity disappeared from my sense of absurdity.
“You want to use the sa equipnt as Balak, the sa amount of mana, and the sa number of skills? For ten minutes?”
“Exactly. Oh, nine minutes to be exact.”
-Nonsense.
Hyun-hye hit the table.
I knew it would be difficult, but this crossed the line.
It was an unreasonable condition.
– How many skills can Taeyang use?
“It’s only 10 skills.”
The Demon King is the most powerful NPC among NPCs.
Even if Balak uses only 10 unique grade skill cards right now, the gap between Taeyang and Balak will inevitably widen.
-Before that, isn’t the demon king an existence that is no different from the ga’s end content? You want to fight sothing like that?
The corners of Dantalian’s mouth drew an arc.
“Of course, looking at it like this seems very unfavorable to you. So I prepared.”
Right.
Along with Dantalian’s words, two people appeared behind him.
Belial, a woman with a voluptuous body dressed as a naked angel.
And it was Decavaria, the 69th rank demon king with a star-shaped hairstyle.
“Introduce yourself. The 71st rank demon king. It is the Dantalian of Heaven.”
“It’s Decavaria of the 69th Nebula.”
“I see you again. 68th rank. This is Belial.”
Dantalian continued.
“The three of us are demon lords who want to support you. It’s simple. All you have to do is choose one of us, receive the power, and overco the sparring with Balak.”
“Choosing authority?”
“yes! warrant! A word that refers to a part of the Demon Lord’s ability. In my case, I have the sa powers as Illusion of Heavenly Perception. Belial?”
Belial replied in a languid tone to Dantalian’s words.
“I agitate. And the level of wealth?”
“I have the power of the stars!”
Dantalian added before Decavaria’s words were finished.
“Grant the power. In simple terms, it’s like taking your equipped Stormbringer card out of the slot and passing it to another player.”
It is a story that takes off a little of the devil’s body’s ability and gives it to the player.
“No, no, wait a minute. Balak said that if you clear this stage, you will remove the ‘power’ and give you a legend grade card?”
“That’s right. If you take off the authority and give it to a player who does not support it, it turns into a card and becos a legend-level card.”
kugung.
Lightning struck the sun’s head.
The pieces are now put together.
The demon king bestows his authority in the form of support. → Power.
Powers are given, but support is not given. → card.
-There was a reason NPCs didn’t have legend cards.
There are few players who will not accept the offer of sponsorship from the demon king, the owner of the dinsional labyrinth.
There might be so players who didn’t accept it, but there was a high possibility that those players were eliminated from the competition.
If Dantalian was right, the legend rank was a system that made no sense.
It has to be.
Because there won’t be a demon king who gave away my powers to players who don’t follow him.
“… … Except for , of course.”
8 years.
Long enough for a second-year elentary school student to beco an adult.
During that long period of ti, users had never found a Legend card.
Not only users, but NPC players as well.
It ans that in this kind of ga, the demon king almost absolutely won.
– This is a very disappointing conclusion.
The sun bit her lip.
“What is despair?”
There is only one S grade player in history.
Across all users and NPCs, the player’s highest output based on the 18th floor is the sun.
“I can take it first after I break it.”
The sun glared at the three demon kings and asked.
“so? What powers can you guys give?”
Dantalian replied with a relaxed expression.
“It is the power of discernnt. Depending on your abilities, you can see through everything. enemy weakness. hidden space. Even hidden tis and forgotten events.”
Next was Decavaria.
“It is the power of the stars. Depending on the properties of the nebula, you can do almost anything. You will be able to obtain attraction and repulsion as well as energy unique to the stars. skills you have developed. Did you say starburst high kick? The technology contained the principles of the stars and the universe. With my support, you can develop further.”
Belial finally answered.
“I have nothing. It’s the power of money. With my backing, you will always be the richest person in this dinsional labyrinth. As an individual. And the wealth you have will support your fighting power.”
“Wealth aids combat power?”
“It’s the concept of ‘the richer you get, the stronger you get.’ You don’t even have to practice. Deterrence will forcibly hone your soul. Of course, if you train separately, it goes without saying that you can beco that much stronger.”
Hyunhye muttered in a low voice.
-shit. everything looks good
But the decision had to be prudent.
Because I had to fight Balak with the power I chose.
-Let’s exclude Belial for now. wealth power. I don’t know that deterrence forces the soul to sharpen, but it must be a good thing. But it’s not working right now. Artifacts like lightsabers and great contraptions are certainly valuable, but I don’t think they’ll be enough to get the extra stats guaranteed by the power of wealth.
There were a lot of players who were carrying things that were more valuable than the sun right now.
Since the property of the sun was not very competitive compared to other players, there was a high possibility that the ability growth that could be obtained with the power of money would also have so limits.
-Then, the Power of the Stars and the Authority of Perception. one of the two Is it just an added combat power or a weakness… … .
The sun suddenly opened its mouth.
“that.”
“yes?”
“That book. Is it yours?”
The sun looked up at the book floating over Dantalian’s right shoulder.
To be precise, the red jewel embedded in the center of the book.
If the sun’s mory is correct, that jewel was the one that protected the sun from Balak’s front paws.
The sun looked at Dantalian.
“Are you the one who saved ?”
“this. I didn’t bother to reveal that it would affect the power selection, but it was discovered.”
Dantalian smiled slyly and shrugged.
Belial looked at him and wrinkled her nose, and Decavaria furrowed her brows in displeasure.
“Dantalian is cowardly.”
“This isn’t fair!”
“under.”
The sun bit his lip.
– What are you worried about?
– He said he saved .
-Aren’t you supposed to choose between Decavaria and Dantalian anyway?
– Wrong.
-There will be a face-to-face from the first floor. Let’s go coolly to Dantalian!
Viewers’ opinions seed reasonable.
But the sun was troubled.
‘why?’
The sponsorship offer from the demon lords definitely had elents that could be of help to Taeyang.
This was especially the case with the authority of the detective.
That’s why I didn’t want to accept Dantalian any more.
The reason is simple.
Because Dantalian’s intentions were unknown.
It is because I do not know the intention of reaching out to him from below.
Taeyang did not trust others.
Exactly, I couldn’t trust anyone except for a few people.
It had to be.
It’s because I t so many ugly people after losing my parents.
Evil business owners who rob minors of their wages.
Humans like cockroaches clinging to the story of Sun’s success.
Disgusting people who approached Byeolrim because they were poor and had smooth faces.
Even the humans who fled after hitting the back of the sun when Dantalian beca a big box office success and the King of Fist faltered.
The only reliable people in life were Hyeon-hye and her parents.
I have t hundreds of thousands of people, but only six people I can trust.
To Taeyang, trusting humans was like taking an absurd gamble with probability.
Not even a human, but a demon king.
And, crucially, one more thing.
According to the revealed circumstances, the fact that ‘Balak attacked the sun and Dantalian blocked it’ was established.
There are two Demon Kings who intervene on stage.
This was a story that Balak’s actions were not temporary errors, but precise interactions made through causality.
Indeed, the demon lords were moving beyond the ga setting.
The sun’s eyes sunk.
Soon the sun shook its head.
These little details didn’t matter.
The important thing right now is clearing the stage.
‘You have to choose a sponsor. It’s a damn choice.’
support.
It ans to support and help from behind, but in other words, it also ans that you can control the actions of the sun with that support and help.
At least until Byeolrim was saved, Taeyang did not want to be interfered with by anyone.
But it was a situation where I couldn’t choose.
Rule 7 All stages are designed to be cleared by the player’s ability.
This ans that players should do the best they can.
And if Dantalian’s sincerity is included in that maximum.
“You can take it slow. You have to deal with the demon king, so please think carefully about your strength and what you need.”
It was then.
Woowook Boo.
The dinsion is torn like a curtain.
all over again.
A black soldier appeared on a black horse.
